I have updated the wiki and fixed the development branch to support both 
32-bit and 64-bit builds. v0.9 can also be built with MSYS2, but I've not 
back-ported the changes to support 64-bit builds (on the basis we are 
releasing v10 soon).

Doing this has allowed me to remove a lot of the MinGW workarounds from the 
code base and has reduced the number of tests that fail with MinGW. I've 
updated the test suite README file to reflect this.

None of the changes I've made prevent building with the original MinGW 
(providing you use a reasonably up-to-date version), but a new incompatibility 
has crept into the code base - using %z in sscanf calls, which the original 
MinGW does not support. If Pablo does want to continue using the original 
MinGW, the simple fix is for him to replace %z with %.
